Tutorials

Ever find yourself wondering just how someone managed to create an image using different effects?

Here are three simple tutorials we hope will encourage you to try something new.

The Hot Seat

A lifelong interest in landscape photography has led Eyal Oren to make a study of his adopted hometown of Marblehead, MA. As you can see, his dedication is paying off!

Africa!

Dgrinners Harryb, Pathfinder, and others joined Andy Williams and Marc Muench on Safari in East Africa recently. Here are some awesome threads to check out!

They're kind of hypnotic when you get up close to them.

Here are some in our east county.

I love wind turbines, Rob, and you have a pair of images that are compositionally sound. I remember my visit to central Oregon...some nice wind turbines there as well.

Hi Denis,
You either love them or hate them. The majority of people hate them as they are sprouting up all over the place and are totally spoiling the landscape especially in the Lake District of Cumbria and the Galloway hills in South West Scotland where I am.

Thanks Mahesh I don't mind them as it gives me something more to photograph.

Hey Bob, wow!

I have not really been up that close to these things before, but they fascinate me. I understand that some people dislike them, but I cannot hate something that is so dominating and alien.

I think most of all the fact that your turbines are in shadow while the landscape behind them is in sunlight is extra cool.

I love them and what they stand for. I was following an articulated lorry once which must have been about 20m long. I thought it had some sort of wing on the back, but it turned out to be one of these blades, these things are mahoosive! Yet at the same time, in the landscape context they have no real sense of scale, which is a pretty clever trick.

Get a tripod, slow down that shutter, let me see those blades turn.
